You should know that as a developing country , China has made significant progress in many fields after decades of development. For example, China Aerospace , China Shipbuilding , China Infrastructure and China's domestic large passenger aircraft have all achieved remarkable results.
According to previous media reports, the Chinese domestically produced large passenger aircraft C919 has obtained the airworthiness certificate issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, which means that the passenger aircraft has met China's standards and requirements for civil aviation aircraft. You should know that the C919 was launched in 2007 and made its first flight in 2017. It is a large trunk passenger plane. With years of verification and construction, the C919 has been recognized by China, and the next focus is to gain recognition from the International Aviation Administration.
Whether it is an airworthiness certificate issued by Europe or the US Aviation Administration, it is also recognized by C919. You should know that if you want to obtain an airworthiness certificate, you must not only obtain a design model certificate, but also obtain a production license. On these two basiss, to obtain an airworthiness certificate, it can also be considered a "verified flight certificate" of C919.
It is worth noting that C919 has also made a lot of efforts to obtain the airworthiness certificate issued by China. After the first flight, in five years, C919 completed test flight and evidence collection work in Yanliang, Shaanxi, Nanchang, Jiangxi, Dongying, Shandong, Xilinhot, Inner Mongolia, Turpan, Xinjiang, Dunhuang, Gansu and other regions. During this period, test flights were conducted for stall , power, performance, flight control and icing, and all of them were successfully completed without exception. What's more, we have obtained an airworthiness certificate issued by China, which shows that C919 has achieved initial success.
So when can Chinese passengers board their C919 passenger plane ? According to the previously announced news, the C919's entry into the civil aviation passenger aircraft market can be divided into two stages. One is that the aircraft registered in China flew abroad, and the other is that the aircraft developed in China is sold abroad.
For flights abroad, since China is also a member of the International Civil Aviation Organization and has established an airworthiness certificate issued by China to comply with the relevant regulations of the International Civil Aviation Administration, the airworthiness certificate issued by China also has a certain effect. In other words, China has issued an airworthiness certificate to the C919, which means that the passenger plane can fly to the whole world. As for sales abroad, according to previous unwritten international regulations, exported aircraft need to meet the airworthiness needs of the importing country. In other words, it needs to be recognized by both parties before it can be sold abroad.
The good news is that C919 is expected to deliver C919 passenger planes to domestic civil aviation companies this year, and also signed bilateral airworthiness agreements with 32 countries and regions including Europe and the United States. According to this situation, it may not take long before we can board China's own domestically produced large passenger plane.
Of course, with the unveiling of C919, Airbus and Boeing will definitely feel a huge crisis. After all, the competitors of C919 are Boeing's best-selling Boeing 737 series and Airbus A320 series. According to the price previously announced by the outside world, it will directly affect the share of Boeing and Airbus in the civil aviation passenger aircraft market. In other words, it won’t take long to take the C919 not only ranks ahead in the domestic market, but also should not be underestimated in the international market.
